Automation subfolders in DAW

[DanH]

Would be really nice to be able to use folders / sub menus in the automation menu for our plugins... as below

[DanH]

@DanH Digging this back up as would be a lovely addition going forward @Christoph-Hart

Too many vsts have a chaotic automation list.

[ustk]

Did we ever get a solution for this?

And to reiterate @dannytaurus's question, what is automationID used for? (should be written automationId btw...)

[dannytaurus]

@ustk said in Automation subfolders in DAW:

should be written automationId

That lowercase d still gets me LITERALLY EVERY TIME

[DanH]

@ustk yeah this should work. You have to define the automation groups in the script. Will send over example when back at computer

[ustk]

@DanH Oh ok so script is the way! Checking this right now...

[DanH]

@ustk

var PluginParameterGroupNames = ["Sampler", "Synth", "etc"];

[ustk]

@DanH Oh nice! I just got back home so we're in sync!

So I did this

const var groups = ["EQ", "Input Stage", "Noise", "Exciter", "Output Tube", "Transformer", "Macros", "Envelopes", "LFOs"];

uph.setPluginParameterGroupNames(groups);

But how do I set the groups to the different components?

I created the parameter object:

const var IS_TYPE_MACRO     = 0;
const var IS_TYPE_CUSTOM    = 1;
const var IS_TYPE_COMPONENT = 2;

const var obj = [
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 0,  typeIndex: 0,  group: groups[0], name: "Low Boost"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 1,  typeIndex: 1,  group: groups[0], name: "Low Freq"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 2,  typeIndex: 2,  group: groups[0], name: "Low Cut"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 3,  typeIndex: 3,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Bandwidth"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 4,  typeIndex: 4,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Boost Freq"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 5,  typeIndex: 5,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Boost"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 6,  typeIndex: 6,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Cut"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 7,  typeIndex: 7,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Cut Freq"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 8,  typeIndex: 8,  group: groups[0], name: "Bypass"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 9,  typeIndex: 9,  group: groups[1], name: "Heat"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 10, typeIndex: 10, group: groups[1], name: "Bias"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 11, typeIndex: 11, group: groups[2], name: "Dynamic"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 12, typeIndex: 12, group: groups[2], name: "Hold"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 13, typeIndex: 13, group: groups[2], name: "Static"},
	{type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 14, typeIndex: 14, group: groups[2], name: "Mix"}
];

But then I don't know what to do with this

uph.setPluginParameterSortFunction(function(p1, p2)
{
	return -1; // instant crash
	return 1;  // instant crash
	return undefined; // doesn't crash
});

how do I pass obj?

There's not even a single entry with those methods in the whole forum...
